Liverpool target Ashley Cole is reportedly in talks with the Anfield club over a potential summer move.

The Mirror says Cole wants a ­two-year deal at a Champions League club, with Real Madrid, Liverpool and Manchester City all interested.

Cole, 33, is determined to prove he can still cut it at the highest level of European football following his release by Chelsea.

Real Madrid would be his most attractive option both financially and professionally, but Cole’s representatives are willing to listen to offers and Liverpool are reportedly made a move to get him signed up.
